Description

Description: This 19.2 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD206, which is also known as the macrophage mannose receptor (MMR). CD206 is expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells. This type I transmembrane protein can also be detected on non-immune cells, including hepatic and lymphathic epithelia and kidney mesengial cells. CD206 binds to glycoproteins that terminate in D-mannose, L-fucose, or N-acetylglucosamine, as well as a variety of hormones. This receptor undergoes constitutive internalization and recycling between the plasma membrane and the endosomal compartment. CD206 is involved in antigen processing and presentation, cell migration, and intracellular signaling. Moreover, CD206 plays a key role in phagocytosis pathogens such as Candida albicans, Leishmania, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.Applications Reported: This 19.2 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.Applications Tested: This 19.2 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of stimulated normal human peripheral blood monocytes. This can be used at 5 μL (0.06 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test.Excitation: 633-647 nm; Emission: 660 nm; Laser: Red Laser.Filtration: 0.2μm post-manufacturing filtered.
